Survey Finds that Financial Advisors are Reluctant to Discuss Cryptocurrency with clients due to Legal Concerns

Financial advisors in Australia are currently hesitant to discuss cryptocurrency investments with their clients due to various concerns, including potential legal liabilities and associated expenses if the investment goes wrong. CoreData’s report indicates that only 1% of financial advisors frequently engage in discussions about crypto, while a staggering 89% stated they have never provided advice on cryptocurrency. One of the primary reasons for this hesitancy is the lack of coverage by professional indemnity insurance, which could lead to heavy legal expenses if clients claim their advice led to financial loss or harm. Additionally, factors such as scams, limited information compared to traditional assets, the absence of historical performance data, and unclear regulations contribute to advisors’ reluctance.

Despite these challenges, there is a growing interest in cryptocurrency investments among clients, with 67% of crypto holders expressing a desire for professional advice on the subject. This demand is fueled by the belief in the potential for value appreciation and concerns about inflation associated with cryptocurrencies. As a result, there is an opportunity for advisory firms to specialize in or enhance their understanding of this emerging asset class. By developing competency in crypto-assets, practices can attract both crypto-curious investors and seasoned holders who have built wealth via blockchain technology. With younger, digitally savvy generations becoming more prominent in the market, the demand for digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and tokenized real-world assets, is expected to increase, making expertise in blockchain-based assets a crucial consideration for future-proofing advisory practices in Australia.

Some major financial institutions, such as Morgan Stanley, are exploring ways to expand their offerings of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by allowing their brokers to actively recommend these products to customers. Currently, Morgan Stanley offers Bitcoin ETFs on an unsolicited basis, but by enabling advisors to actively recommend these products, the firm could potentially broaden its customer base. However, this move also exposes the institution to additional liability, as some financial institutions have chosen not to offer cryptocurrency products due to concerns about their suitability for long-term portfolios. Nonetheless, other firms like LPL Financial are evaluating which Bitcoin funds they could offer to customers, indicating a growing interest in crypto investments within the financial industry.

In conclusion, while financial advisors in Australia may be hesitant to discuss cryptocurrency investments with their clients due to various concerns and challenges, there is a significant opportunity for advisory firms to specialize in or enhance their understanding of this emerging asset class. With a growing interest in crypto investments among clients, developing competency in blockchain-based assets can help practices attract a wider range of investors, including those who are crypto-curious and seasoned crypto holders. As the demand for digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, continues to rise, future-proofing advisory practices by building expertise in blockchain-based assets is essential for staying relevant in the evolving financial landscape. Major financial institutions like Morgan Stanley are also exploring ways to expand their offerings of Bitcoin ETFs, indicating a growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies within the industry and a potential shift towards more crypto-friendly investment strategies.
